Language has the power to either reinforce stigma or create compassion. Words like “lazy,” “sloppy,” or “unmotivated” have been unfairly used to describe people in larger bodies, fueling shame and discrimination.

Choosing respectful, nonjudgmental language is a powerful way to shift attitudes. Speaking with compassion not only promotes dignity but also helps build a culture where everyone feels seen and respected, regardless of their size.

One of the most common myths is that body size automatically reflects health, lifestyle, or personal worth. In reality, weight alone tells us very little about someone’s overall well-being. People in larger bodies can be healthy, just as people in smaller bodies can face serious medical challenges.

When we challenge these assumptions, we open the door to focusing on what truly matters: behaviors that support health, such as balanced eating, joyful movement, and self-care, rather than appearance or numbers on a scale.
